into 2 cottages and reunited into one house in C20. Rendered slate rubble and
some granite. Tile roof with gabled ends. Stone rubble gable end and front

front entrance, the right hand room has a large gable end stack and left hand
room heated from a lateral stack at front; at right hand end a single storey
outshut. The projection at rear of left end was probably the original circa
early C16 blowing house and stamping mill with a cantilevered roof and water
wheel on the left side. Extended circa early to mid C16 at front with smelting
hearth in front wall. Later in C16 extended to present dimensions but still a
mill. The outshut originally 2 storeys and probably of this period or a little
later. The stack at the right hand end, the central partition and first floor
are probably C17 alterations when the building became inhabited. Later subdivi-
ded into 2 cottages, and reunited into one house in C20. Exterior: 1 storey and
attic. Asymmetrical 3-window south front. All C20 casements, attic windows in
C20 half-dormers. Doorway to right of centre with C20 glazed door. Projecting
lateral stack to left of centre. Two large buttresses at either end of front
and 2 smaller buttresses at centre with slate weathering. Small square blocked
opening on right. Painted stone rubble outshut set back on right end has plank
door with large timber lintel and blocked first floor window reduced by lowered
lean-to corrugated iron roof. The right hand end at the rear projects.
Interior: Remains of original blowing house and stamping mill in rear left
(north west) wall with what is possibly water wheel axel hole in left (west)
wall, and hearth from second phase in front wall with granite lintel over fire-
place. Timber lintel with stopped chanfl+r over formerly wide front doorway.
Fireplace in east end has unchamfered granite lintel, oven and large timber
bressummer above continuing over possible smoking-chamber to left;bressummer in
a reused post chamfered on all 4 corners and with large mortices at one end.
Niche (keep-hole) to right of fireplace. All that remains of the late C16 or
early C17 roof structure is the foot of a principal rafter on front wall with
mortice for threaded purlin.
